Well Bayern have been strategically weakening other teams in the Bundes... by buying their competitors best players... Fergie just wants to buy as many decent CF's as possible to ensure that other clubs don't get them - likely City, Chelsea etc... OR as a minimum he'll artificially push the price up! Lewa was rumoured to be joining Bayern anyway - Souness tried to sound Ballack out on SkySports just now - but Ballack deflected - could be some truth... Goetze and Lewa into the Bayern mix = scary!

Lol you are a hard man to please Herr Magic Lamps.... Alles Klar that you're not a Schweiny fan... but he's done well and even Ballack himself praised him and Robben on Sky Sports tonight

The Chelsea FC Supporters Trust aims to :- Encourage the board of Chelsea Football Club to take into account the interests of all supporters (both UK and Overseas based) and of the local community (businesses, residents, local authorities etc) when making decisions that impact upon them;To actively and professionally engage with all relevant stakeholders on matters of interest and concern to Chelsea supporters;Act as an effective means of communication between club and supporters;Build on the work done by the Fans Forum in enabling issues of concern with supporters to be raised with the club;Work with Supporters Direct and other Supporters Trusts on pan-club issues like ticket prices, kick-off times;Work in partnership with existing supporters groups, websites, fanzine, podcasts etc without detracting from their independence.Ok - taking those points in order: 1) This is impossible - the scope is too wide, the 'interested parties' will all have differing requirements and it will be impossible to gain traction. Again, this looks like a blanket approach - where are the specifics? As for decisions that impact on them - that's arbitrary - could be argued on the most tenuous of reasons. 2) How... actively and professionally? Sounds like buzzword bingo... Stakeholders - which, for what specific reason? Again - just seems way too broad... 3) Really? A collective group better at communicating than trained professionals? Again, don't see it. Is every member going to sign an NDA? (Non Disclosure Agreement)... No... So maybe one or two out of this trust will get information first, before spreading to the rest of the community - that's no longer a trust and 'equal' situation is it - and will probably cause more long term harmony issues... 4) Issues of concern... could it be more vague... ? 5) Ticket prices = fair enough - go get em - Kick Off times - er... Chelsea don't really control that, the EPL and TV channels pretty much control kick-off times and the FA if Cup Matches, UEFA for European Games? 6) Fine... but surely making them register will eventually lead to people gravitating towards this trust - so it will have an 'impact' on fans sites, like TC... I'm all up for these types of things and please don't take it the wrong way - but it really annoys me when people use vague terminology. This also feels like a massive knee-jerk reaction since RdM was sacked... and if Mourinho comes back - this thing will be dead in 2 years....

Hey don't apologise it's cool Just interested to hear what the interview said - could you post up the words?

Video not available in my country and I cant be fucked to find a DK VPN Can you just post up what was said???

Cool - sorry if I misunderstood

You know what - he deserves it... The lad gave us everything he had EVERY game... that comment makes him out to be like Winston Bogarde or other money digging players.... Essien is not like that at all! If he never plays for us again and picks up his money and leaves on a free - I'll still salute him as one of the best we have EVER seen at Chelsea. Seriously, go back and watch some older games - the guy was a machine and scored some amazing goals for us...

Yup - great post Plenty of Mourinho detractors out there - I found it interesting that Casillas's woman works for TV and leaked a lot of information... No wonder Mourinho dropped him... Dont need that shit... As for his team selections of late - if the dressing room is that fractured (Ego's about being dropped to be believed) - then he's going to pick people he can rely on, not necessarily the 'best' players... I hope he does return... It will be interesting to see if he can get a reaction from our team and make us dominant once more...

@Rmpr @Leif - guys both of you are my favourite posters - please don't argue! I'm off to Dubai for a week (work unfortunately) but hope when I return, we will have smashed the Swans so badly the Queen will be concerned!!! (She owns all swans in uk!) We should also have dispatched the Cuckoo clock boys and be booking our tickets to Amsterdam So c'mon we're all Chelsea here - lets not do a Millwall huh and fight ourselves

Yup no denying Lukaku is the future As The Skipper says - would have been great having Danny and Lukaku and BA Oh well Lukau, BA and xxxx - still sounds good to me

Nah - it's easy, look I did it on FM Ronaldo 60million Modric 20 million Varne 23 million And and and I got MESSI FOR 17 million #lol Barca sacked manager and I bid for Messi and Board accepted - hehehe

Good answers - hope he's right about our win As much as I hated being knocked out by Swansea - I do have a soft spot for them, love their attitude and can't wait to see Swansea vs Cardiff next season - what a couple of games that will be So good luck to them from Monday onwards

Heh or Tribal Football But hope it is true! The 120million scares me - will this mean our current players lose out? Hope he brings Modric, Ronaldo and a defender

Heh nice work you're on one tonight

Word for word my exact thoughts... He's ready and ready now! I will say it here - he could become bigger than Drogba... To the guy that says He Has Space - he won't get that here - that my friend is the sign of a great player, great players make space Ok so he wasnt massively clinical today - he tried the keepers legs, keeper got lucky, long did exactly same thing and got lucky. Just his runs, passing and physical presence - fr a young lad, unreal. Like I said, he looked so raw in pre-season I was a little worried - but game time has fixed that and he offers so much more than we have now! He must start next season! I'd switch to a 4-4-2 with him and BA upfront or at least 4-4-1-1 with Hazard in behind and either Lukaku or BA up front... Torrid can be 3rd choice... Same with Chalobah, Lukaku is ready, willing and ABLE RIGHT NOW!

Hi mate - I think he was being sarcastic about loaning him to Utd What he meant was, is that if Sir Alex (lol) had a player of this calibre at his disposal he would already be getting game time at Utd. Learning from the rest of the team etc. NOT being loaned out to other teams with other styles of play, only to have to come back and try and learn the Chelsea way. If you're good enough, you're old enough is what OPTB is trying to say and I agree Chalobah >>>>> Mikel IMHO

Yup! You got it We moan no youth players, then decide to keep loaning them out? I mean WTF! How can you judge how he would play for Chelsea if we don't actually play him!!! We need to play him!!!! Also Quality players play better around other quality players I'd rather loan out Mikel and play Chalobah next year...!!! #grrrrrrrrrr

Hmm maybe because Cavani is better? Don't want another big striker - that ain't our problem! Despite me thinking it was earlier in te season! We need DLP / B2B midfielders AND a CB before we consider a striker!!!

Actually fuckit he's my younger Bro - just pre-ordered him the new kit

Ok cheers man I'm in London tomorrow so will check out the stores there

Link - Bros bday might get him one

I call bullshit! Sure some hot Swedes - but plenty of mingers too! Only been 3 times - Malmo, Stockholm and Uppsala (sp?) - but not what I imagined

I'm voting for these 3... Prague Kiev Moscow With Budapest, Romania following closely... And maybe Salzburg, some stunning women there I've heard girls in Estonia and Brazil are hot, but not been there so cannot comment. I have been to the countries listed and sometimes wished (for a moment) I was single. But even though the girls were lovely - I still wouldn't swap them for the missus I was single in Prague, Kiev and Moscow - and yes, I did do my bit for international relations - several times in each country

El Skinto Missus b'day on the 29th and as moving back to the UK and 3 Austria want 400 euros to unlock her Galaxy S3 I got her a Galaxy S4 unlocked price was crazy tho! £520 delivered!!! Oh and she also wanted the Crystal Vodka thing with shot glasses - it's owned by Dan Akryod the Ghostbusters dude - Skull full of Vodka and 4 shot glasses - £130 delivered Probably paid over the odds for both - but been travelling a lot and in Austria you get compensated for travel - so money I wasn't expecting and she's a good ole girl to put up with me so she deserves it especially as I'm normally grumpy this year after every Chelsea game

When do we find out ? tomorrow? Or Thurdsay?
